I followed this course just for entertainment, along with with my normal academic courses (Energy and Nuclear Engineering) but it turned out to be very useful for my study efficiency and proficiency. Very good!

PS: animations can be a little bit crappy, but they are effective ;)

Knowing when, how, and what we can we do to become better learners is invaluable. The subject is broad, but presented in a way that it is easy to understand and makes you want to learn more and study further. Exceptional course and teachers. I am grateful and thank you. (*****)

Really helped me to make habits for studying and realize how my brain works. Topics are straight-forward and easy to understand and professors in this course are very well teachers. Also there are illustrations in this course so you can memorize and remember things much better.

This is A fantastic course for those that may have been out of the realm of education for some time and are diving back into learning. It is a great course on not only teaching you successful study habits, but also giving you the tools and knowledge you need to create your own.

I found the instructors clear, enthusiastic and motivating - something that is very important for the topic of learning. The material was presented in a way that was fun and easy to absorb. Thank you. I've seen an improvement in my ability to manage my concentration already.

La verdad aprendí mucho en este curso, de verdad lo necesitaba, en lo personal soy de las personas que me desconcentro mucho y cuando no logro hacer algo me estreso pero este curso me dio bases para saber manejarlo y como sobre llevar ese tipo de cosas, muchas gracias de verdad

I always used to think that rest would help me study but I convinced myself it was because I was lazy and that I should focus on super long study sessions but now I know I was using defuse mode and that constant practice and repetition is better

Should be taught at every school!

Terrific class. Wish it was a required class in every school. Reading the book now too to reinforce what I learned so I can use it to help others too. Fun sessions, easy to follow, highly recommend for anyone who just is interested in learning more about how to learn anything.

It is a challenging experience that mobilized my capacities and my knowledge gradually, recognizing where I am and giving my decision to where I want to go and how to achieve it. The course was easy to tackle and follow, dynamic and pedagogical. Thank you again and good job !!!

This is one of the best course regards to learning, "how to learn". This type of courses mush should be included in school/college curriculum to help students for the new way of techniques to master and excel the subject. Thank You for the efforts to make this course available.

It is an excellent course that teaches you how to learn but also explores new ways of thinking I recommend you If you want to learn something or even if you just want to explore because this course is going to change your believes about education , intelligence and learning.

A thank you is a really small word to the acknowledge the change which the course has made in my life. I am thankful to Mrs. Babara Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski's teaching and to the whole team of Coursera for providing such a wonderful platform to help students learn how to learn.

This class has some great material, provides scientific support for the prescribed techniques, and has links to some worthwhile reading material. This class was enjoyable, a good investment of time, and I've already recommended it to friends. Thank Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski!

This course helped me in a great way. I realized why i wasn't able to score more despite being hardworking. These tips and tricks should be taught in schools at a younger age so that many children learn and don't make so many mistakes and regret later. Better late than never !!

Very interesrting. I thought learning is simply, just that, learning. But this course breaks down our brain, our habits and environement we are in and examine how each of theses factors affect our learning. I simply didnt know there is a scientific approach to learn. Thank you.

An amazing course!

If you are reading this, please don't miss the opportunity to learn important tools that will develop, not only your capacity to learn new things, but will also in deepen your self knowledge by giving you an interesting insight of your brain and how it works.

Ha sido un excelente curso, que me ha dado las bases para mejorar en mis estudios, he aprendido herramientas prácticas y consejos que me van a ayudar a lo largo de mi carrera profesional y también en mi vida personal.

Recomiendo tomar este curso antes que cualquier otro.

Gracias

This course is pretty useful for teachers as well als learners - and especially for teachers who think they are learners all the time anyways. There is so much background and neurobiology in that it is really worth trying. Even if you already found your own methods of learning.

I enjoyed listening to Barbara and Terry. They presented the topic with an enthusiasm that made me so interested to listen to the next lecture. May be a bit more details or more practical exercises. Otherwise the course was engaging, informative and useful.

Thank you very much.

Complete and well explained. The instructors speak clearly and do not try to give a lot of information per speech by speaking at 200 mph. They use great analogies to help us understand and memorize the information. I learned a lot and had a wonderful time. I recommend it 100%.

This course gave me great insights in how our brain works and also how to discover and use your potential, I've had problems with procrastination since before and now I've become more productive and more conscious of my learning habits thanks to the lessons. Thank you so much!

The best thing I have ever done to me ever in learning is taking this course.I started this course when I felt that I was falling back in my studies.This saved me.I could not thank enough.Thank you so much for this valuable course.This should be taught in schools and colleges.

I enjoyed this course from beggining to end, the way the teachers explain things, it's just awesome, they make such complicated topics into understandable topics. If you want to know how to learn things better or to improve your learning on any subject, this is for you!! 10/10

Valuable and very useful information that I benefited from with this course, it made me realize many of the capabilities of my brain, how it works, how it thinks and preserves information.

All thanks to the person who created this course and who helped to complete this course.

This course helped me a lot. I got an important knowledge about procrastination and how to avoid it. This course would be helpful for everyone who interested in self-development and just trying to get fundamentals which will help in building career, own future etc. Thank you.
